American
festivals
Looking for somewhere to have a good time? Festivals, no matter how strange, bring out the
best in creativity. A festivalgoer can celebrate animals, insects, foods, historical events, and
just about any other topic under the sun. It's easy to fill your calendar with events, just check
out these examples.
1. Frozen Dead Guy Days (ederland, Colorado)
The fun at the annual Frozen Dead Guy Days festival heats up Nederland during Colorado's
typically
frosty
March. The fest
commemorates
a cryogenically
preserved
Norwegian who
has been kept in a
shed
by his grandson since 1994. Visitors are encouraged to come dressed
as a frozen or dead character to a dance called "Grandpa's Blue Ball."
Coffin
races and
a parade featuring antique
hearses
are among the liveliest attractions, along with
salmon
tossing
and a frozen beach volleyball
tournament
. The event started in 2002 and
annually
attracts about 7,000 visitors.
2. anaimo Marine Festival (anaimo, British Columbia)
At the Nanaimo Marine Festival held in midJuly, up to 200 "tubbers" compete in the Great
International World Championship
Bathtub
Race across a 36mile course. Using just about
any
conceivable
watercraft, most of which at least
vaguely
resemble
a bathtub, contestants
must make it to Vancouver's Fisherman's Cove across the Straits of Georgia. The first race
was held in 1967 and activities have expanded since to include a food fair,
craft
show,
Kiddies' Karnival, and waiters' race.
Bo nauka nie musi być nudna!
3. BugFest (Raleigh, orth Carolina)
Billed as the nation's largest singleday festival featuring insects, BugFest attracts around
25,000 people to Raleigh each September. The event started in 1997 and now covers
bee
keeping demonstrations, a
flea
circus, and
roach
races. The festival features many exhibits on
insects, from live spiders and
centipedes
, to displays on how
bugs
see. At Café Insecta,
festivalgoers can
sample
Buggy Bean Dip with Crackers,
Wax
Worm
Stew
, fried Cantonese
Crickets
over rice, and Three Bug Salad, among other nicely named goodies that actually
include worms,
ants
, and related insects raised for cooking.
4. Faux Film Festival (Portland, Oregon
)
For anyone who loves
fake
commercials or movie trailers, Portland's Faux Film Festival is
the ticket to a surreal filmic nevernever land. Mockumentaries and other celluloid
spoofs
are
among the
dozens
of
goofy
entries shown in the historic 460seat Hollywood Theatre. Past
viewings have included the silly classic,
It Came from the Lint Trap
and the
quirky
The Lady
from Sockholm
, a film noir featuring sock
puppets
. The fest is usually staged at the end of
March, with a packed house at each screening.
5. Contraband Days Pirate Festival (Lake Charles, Louisiana)
Legend has it that
buccaneer
Jean Lafitte buried an enormous
treasure
somewhere along
Lake Charles's sandy shoreline. Since 1958, Contraband Days Pirate Festival, which attracts
more than 100,000 people, has been honouring the legend each May. Perhaps one of the
funniest sights of the festival is when the
mayor
is made to walk the
plank
after pirates take
over the town. The chief is naturally rescued quickly, then is free to enjoy the rest of the fest
with its carnival, arm wrestling competition, sailboat regatta, and bed races. With an eclectic
selection of nearly 100 different events, Contraband Days is frequently chosen by the
American Bus Association as a Top 100 Event in North America.
